1. Loads of music venues
2. Easy access to loads more (Cardiff and Birminham within an hour or so)
3. All the good stuff is within walking distance of everything else.
4. Only 1.5 hours from London.
5. The people are, in the main, nice.
6. It has a good airport.
7. Its near devon and therefore the beach.
8. If you are a lower league football fan its easy to get to loads of grounds quickly (this admittedly mainly applies to me and trying to get to away games).
9. Tourists still dont seem to have found it.
10. The suspension bridge is amazing.

I like the Tobacco factory a lot, but get a bit annoyed about all the south bristollers going on about it like its the first bar on earth. I always remind them of my 115 pubs fact which tends to shut them up.

is really nice, I live just by the Coronation pub on Dean Lane. This is the first time living south of the river after living on Glos Road for ages. East Street is a magical experience any day of the week, I walk down there and feel like a millionaire!

it is better than Manchester. i am doing a course in cardiff but have spent more time in Bristol because i prefer it. I will live there in a few months once i get a job sorted. In summary: YaY Bristol!

I always get a pannin for this, but th local bands are pretty bad. Fortune Drive are indeed good, other than that I havent seen much I dont hate, but I probably dont go looking for good ocal bands as much as others. Everything I see seems to be stuck in the horrible trip hop mould - clinging onto the "bristol sound".
